English term or phrase: are custom to
Compounding the security risk is the fact that native applications ***are custom to*** their various operating systems, such as iOS and Android, which makes analyzing their security more difficult because many tools that scan for vulnerabilities don’t support these new platforms.

are used to


Explanation:
'custom' 在这里的意思是 'a usual or a habitual practice'. 可以理解为 'are used to'...
由于 'native applications' 习惯于'它们各种不同的操作系统 （various operating systems）'。。。。这个事实使得。。。analyzing their security more difficult。。。（因为很多工具是不支持这些系统的平台的）。
ivanniu说到的是custom的另一个意思。'custom made'...tailor made...在这里指的应该不是这一层意思。

neutral  Ambrose Li: I think “custom to” here more likely means “peculiar to”: Native applications are peculiar to their respective operating systems. In other words, at a fundamental level things are done differently; that’s what makes security analysis difficult.
